17,17-Dimethyl-18-norandrosta-1,4,13-trien-3-one CAS 77702-25-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 17,17-Dimethyl-18-norandrosta-1,4,13-trien-3-one is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 17,17-Dimethyl-18-norandrosta-1,4,13-trien-3-one (CAS 77702-25-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H26O, MW 282.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 17,17-Dimethyl-18-norandrosta-1,4,13-trien-3-one (C20H26O) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 282.42 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 17,17-Dimethyl-18-norandrosta-1,4,13-trien-3-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
